Method 1, AMF send first to SMF and subscribe to request, and the first subscription request is for when terminal, there are target services When, the first instruction information is sent to AMF.

As a kind of implementation, when terminal is there are when target service, SMF sends the first instruction information to AMF, this first Indicate information in may include service quality (Quality of Service, QoS) information, wherein QoS information include distribution and Retain priority (allocation and retention priority, ARP) or QoS information includes 5G Qos mark (5G QoS Identifier, 5QI) or QoS information include ARP and 5QI.Certainly, QoS information also can also include other Information.

Wherein, ARP contains levels of priority, seizes ability (pre-emption capability) and is preempted attribute Information such as (pre-emption vulnerability).Levels of priority defines the relative importance of a resource request.This Sample can determine that a new QoS flow should be received or is rejected in the case where resource-constrained.ARP priority limit From 1 to 15,1 is highest priority.The ability of seizing defines whether the data flow with higher priority can seize one The resource of the data flow of a existing lower priority.It is preempted whether attribute-defining data stream may lose the money for distributing to it Source, to allow that there is the data flow of higher priority to use this resource.Therefore, when ARP contain high priority it is horizontal and/or When including that height seizes ability, then the value of the ARP can serve to indicate that target service, which is to need to ensure business Successional business, i.e., the business that cannot be interrupted, for example can be urgency traffic, high-priority service, or the base that cannot be interrupted In the business etc. of IMS.The value of 5QI can indicate different QoS characteristics, such as priority, packet delay, packet error rate Deng.Therefore, when 5QI contains horizontal high priority, and/or low packet delay, and/or low packet error rate, then should The value of 5QI can serve to indicate that target service.

To which AMF can determine that there are target services according to the QoS information, specifically, AMF can be according to the QoS information In include ARP and/or 5QI determine there are target services.

For example, further comprising the steps of before step 202: AMF sends first to SMF and subscribes to request, should in conjunction with Fig. 2 First subscribes to request for sending the first instruction information to AMF when terminal is there are when target service.The step can be in step It is executed before 201, is also possible to execute after step 201 and before step 202.

Therefore, before step 202, SMF if it is determined that terminal there is currently target services, then to AMF send first instruction Information, so that AMF is available to the first instruction information.And then in step 202, AMF can be based on the first instruction information, Determining terminal, there is currently target services.

Method 2, AMF send second to SMF and subscribe to request, and the second subscription request is for when terminal, there are target services When, it sends and notifies to AMF, AMF generates the first instruction information according to the notice received.

As a kind of implementation, when terminal is there are when target service, SMF sends to AMF and notifies, can wrap in the notice Include QoS information, wherein include ARP and/or 5QI in QoS information.The value of the ARP can serve to indicate that target service, which can To be used to indicate target service.Specifically refer to the associated description in preceding method 1.

To which AMF can determine that there are target services according to the QoS information, and then the first instruction information can be generated.

For example, further comprising the steps of before step 202: AMF sends second to SMF and subscribes to request, should in conjunction with Fig. 2 Second subscribes to request for sending and notifying to AMF when terminal is there are when target service.The step can be before step 201 It executes, is also possible to execute after step 201 and before step 202.

Therefore, before step 202, SMF if it is determined that terminal there is currently target services, then to AMF send notify, AMF The first instruction information is generated according to the notice received.And then in step 202, AMF can be based on the first instruction information, Determining terminal, there is currently target services.

As a kind of implementation, SMF is determining terminal there is currently when target service, for example can be in the notice of transmission Identification information including business is the instruction information of target service with the type for being used to indicate the business, and then AMF is logical according to this Know the first instruction information of generation and is stored in local.

Method 3, AMF send request message to SMF, and the request message is for requesting inquiry terminal currently to whether there is target Business；AMF receives the response message from AMF, which includes the first instruction information.

For example, after step 202, further comprising the steps of: AMF sends request message, the request to SMF in conjunction with Fig. 2 Message is for requesting inquiry terminal currently to whether there is target service；AMF receives the response message from AMF, the response message Including the first instruction information.

As a kind of implementation, when terminal is there are when target service, SMF sends response message, the response message to AMF In include first instruction information, this first instruction information in may include QoS information, wherein in QoS information include ARP and/or 5QI.The value of the ARP can serve to indicate that target service, which can serve to indicate that target service.Specifically refer to aforementioned side Associated description in method 1.

This method is actively to send request message to SMF from AMF, currently whether there is target service to inquire terminal.If SMF inquires terminal, and there is currently target services, then send the first instruction information to AMF.And then in step 202, AMF can be with Based on the first instruction information, determining terminal, there is currently target services.

Method 4, SMF send the first instruction information to AMF.

In this method, SMF is not needed upon the inquiry request of AMF or subscribes to request, but determines terminal in SMF there are mesh When mark business, the first instruction information is sent to AMF, which is used to indicate terminal there are target service, and AMF It can store the first instruction information.Wherein, SMF knows mode of the terminal there is currently target service for example, SMF according to QoS flow corresponding ARP and/or 5QI in PDU session, determining that the PDU session is includes PDU session of target service etc..

In one implementation, the first instruction information that SMF is sent to AMF can be the instruction information of 1 bit. To which AMF can determine terminal according to the first instruction information, there are target services.AMF can store and PDU session association 1 bit indicates information, or there are the instruction states of target service for storage, thus in other subsequent related procedures, it can To determine that there are target services according to the instruction information.In another implementation, the first instruction that SMF is sent to AMF is believed Breath includes QoS information, and AMF stores the first instruction information, wherein includes ARP and/or 5QI in QoS information, the value of the ARP can To be used to indicate target service, which can serve to indicate that target service.Specifically refer to the associated description in preceding method 1. To which AMF can be according to the ARP and/or 5QI in the first instruction information, determining terminal, there are target services.Alternatively, AMF can It is subsequent to need to judge terminal with the presence or absence of target industry after receiving the first instruction information, first to store the first instruction information , can be according to the ARP and/or 5QI in the first of the storage the instruction information when business, determining terminal, there are target services.

Method 5, SMF send QoS information to AMF, and AMF generates the first instruction information according to QoS information.AMF can store The first instruction information that the QoS information or storage are generated according to QoS information.

This method, SMF does not need to judge that terminal whether there is target service, but the QoS information of business is sent to AMF judges whether there is target service by AMF oneself.AMF can store the QoS information or storage is generated according to QoS information First instruction information.It include ARP and/or 5QI in QoS information.

Wherein, the business of the value instruction of ARP here may be target service, it is also possible to non-targeted business, here The business of 5QI instruction may be target service, it is also possible to non-targeted business.For example, the value instruction for working as ARP is high priority Or height when seizing ability, then the business of the value instruction of the ARP is target service；When ARP value indicate be low priority or it is low When seizing ability, then the business of the value instruction of the ARP is non-target service (or being general service).Likewise, working as the value of 5QI Indicate be high priority, and/or low packet delay, and/or low packet error rate when, then the 5QI value instruction industry Business is target service；What is indicated when the value of 5QI is low priority, and/or high packet delay, and/or high packet error rate, Then the business of the value instruction of the 5QI is non-target service.

AMF can judge whether after the QoS information for receiving SMF transmission according to the ARP and/or 5QI in QoS information There are target services, however, it is determined that there are target services, and the first instruction information then further can be generated.It should be noted that AMF can store the QoS information, and target service is judged whether there is in follow-up process；Alternatively, receiving QoS letter According to the ARP and/or 5QI in QoS information after breath, judge terminal with the presence or absence of target service, however, it is determined that there are target industry for terminal Business then further can be generated the first instruction information and store the first instruction information, which can be used at it In his subsequent related procedure, can determining terminal according to the first instruction information, there are target services.

Wherein, when the SMF QoS information sent includes ARP, and the value instruction of ARP is that high priority or height seize ability When, then AMF can determine that the business of the value instruction of the ARP is target service, and then AMF can determine terminal there is currently targets Business.

When the QoS information that SMF is sent includes 5QI, and what 5QI was used to indicate is that high priority, and/or low data packet are prolonged When slow, and/or low packet error rate, then AMF can determine that the business of the value instruction of the 5QI is target service, and then AMF can To determine terminal, there is currently target services.

When the QoS information that SMF is sent includes ARP and 5QI, and the value instruction of ARP is that high priority or height seize ability, Alternatively, what 5QI was used to indicate is high priority, and/or low packet delay, and/or low packet error rate, then AMF can be with Determining terminal according to the value of the ARP, there is currently target services, alternatively, AMF can determine that terminal is currently deposited according to the value of the 5QI In target service, alternatively, AMF can determine terminal according to the value of the ARP and the value of 5QI, there is currently target services.Method B, AMF receives the session establishment request message for carrying out self terminal, and session establishment request message includes second indication information, the second instruction letter Breath is used to indicate the session that established session is target service, and AMF according to second indication information determines terminal, and there is currently mesh Mark business.

This method B is during terminal initiates session establishment request, and AMF judges that terminal currently initiates what request was established Session whether be target service session, so that it is determined that terminal currently whether there is target service.

As a specific implementation manner, terminal includes request type into the session establishment request message that AMF is sent, The request type is used to indicate the session that the session that request is established is target service, which can be urgency traffic or excellent First grade business etc..To, AMF according to the request type, can determine that the session of terminal request foundation is the session of target service, And then there is currently target services for determining terminal.Wherein, above-mentioned request type is that one kind of above-mentioned second indication information is specific It realizes.

It should be noted that above-mentioned terminal to AMF send session establishment request message the step of can be it is shown in Fig. 2 Execute before step 202, such as can be and executed before step 201, or after step 201 and step 202 it Preceding execution.

Further, after above-mentioned steps 203, it can also include the following steps 204A, and/or, step 204B.

Step 204A, AMF trigger the release or deactivated process of the session of non-targeted business.

For the non-targeted business of terminal, that is, the business of guaranteeing business continuity, such as non-emergent task are not needed, it is non-optimum First grade task dispatching, AMF can discharge the session of these non-targeted business, or deactivate.

Since non-targeted business has terminated in advance, once target service terminates, signaling connection can be rapidly completed Process is discharged, so that terminal enters Idle state.Wherein, signaling connection release may include access net (access network, AN) release or NAS signaling Connection Release etc..

It should be noted that the session of above-mentioned non-targeted business, refers to the session for only including non-targeted business, due to this Non-targeted business is only included in session, thus directly can be discharged or be deactivated.And being directed to both includes that target service includes The session of non-targeted business then cannot directly discharge, but can be realized by following step 204B terminates non-targeted business.

Step 204B, AMF notify SMF: session only provides service for target service.

It had not only included target service a in session A, but also including non-targeted business b, then AMF can lead to for example, being directed to session A Know SMF: session A provides service for target service a.I.e. notify SMF: the session A only provide service for target service a, not for Non-targeted business b provides service.To, SMF no longer will provide service after receiving the notice of AMF for non-targeted business b, It can be understood as SMF and finish the non-targeted business b.

Since non-targeted business has terminated in advance, once target service terminates, signaling connection can be rapidly completed Process is discharged, so that terminal enters Idle state.

It should be noted that since step 204A and step 204B are to execute operation for different types of session, because There is no inevitable connection between this above-mentioned steps 204A and step 204B, it can only carry out step 204A, can also only carry out Step 204B can also be and not only execute step 204A but also execute step 204B.

As another implementation, the execution of above-mentioned steps 705A is execution of having ready conditions.For example as a kind of realization side Formula, if it is determined that there are target services in above-mentioned steps 702, and the target service is not urgency traffic or high-priority service, then AMF starts timer, and optionally the timer can also be carried in the configuration update message of step 703 and be sent to terminal. If timer expiry and terminal are connected state, 705A is thened follow the steps, optionally, mesh can also be performed when executing step 705A The release of the session of mark business or deactivated process.If before timer expiry, AMF determines that urgency traffic or Gao You occurs in terminal First grade business, then AMF stops timer, and does not execute step 705A.That is, only just executing step after timer expiry 705A.When the configuration update message of step 703 carries timer, if terminal does not occur urgency traffic or height before timer expiry Priority service, then terminal can know that AMF will execute step 705A, and optionally, when executing step 705A, AMF can be with The release of the session of performance objective business or deactivated process, if urgency traffic or Gao Youxian occurs in terminal before timer expiry Grade business, then terminal can stop timer and terminal can know that AMF is not carried out step 705A.

Further, after above-mentioned steps 703 or step 704, it can also include the following steps 706 and step 707.

Step 706, AMF sends third to SMF and subscribes to request, and correspondingly, SMF receives the third and subscribes to request.

The third subscribes to request for notifying AMF at the end of target service.

Step 707, SMF then notifies that target service is over AMF if it is determined that target service is over.

It should be noted that the concrete methods of realizing of step 706- step 707, can be used in embodiment shown in Fig. 3 Described execution method, or using execution method described in embodiment shown in Fig. 4, or use Fig. 5 institute Execution method described in the embodiment shown, or using execution method described in embodiment shown in fig. 6.

It is described below in above-mentioned steps 703, AMF sends configuration update message to terminal and AMF does not trigger signaling connection and releases Release the concrete methods of realizing of journey.

Method one, AMF send third to terminal and indicate that information, third instruction information are used to indicate terminal in signaling connection Register flow path is initiated after release.

Wherein, third instruction information, which can be, is individually sent to terminal, is also possible to be carried in configuration update message It is sent to terminal.

In this way, the configuration for completing terminal updates, then according to the third after terminal receives configuration update message It indicates information, does not initiate register flow path temporarily, but initiate register flow path again after waiting signaling connection release.To which terminal exists After executing configuration update, register flow path is just initiated until the release of terminal check signaling connection into standby mode.Example Such as, terminal can confirm signaling Connection Release, at this moment can initiate register flow path after entering Idle state.

In the method, the mode of AMF 706- step 707 through the above steps, when the target service of terminal is over When, AMF can know that the target service of terminal is over, and then AMF can initiate signaling connection release process, complete signaling Connection Release.After signaling connection release, terminal enters Idle state.Terminal enters after Idle state, shows signaling connection Through discharging, and then register flow path is initiated again.

Method two includes modified configuration undated parameter in the configuration update message that AMF is sent to terminal, and wherein this is matched Setting the parameter that undated parameter is modified is target component, which is that the ginseng of signaling connection release can be triggered when configuration updates Number.

For example, the target component is indicated using parameter A, then it include configuration undated parameter, configuration in configuration update message It include parameter A in undated parameter.If sending configuration undated parameter in the way of the prior art, terminal is receiving configuration more After new information, according to the parameter A in configuration undated parameter, meeting triggering terminal initiates the process of signaling connection release.

And according to the present processes, by modifying to parameter A, so that modified parameter A will not trigger signaling Connection Release process, so that terminal after receiving configuration update message, therefrom gets configuration undated parameter, according to configuration Parameter A after undated parameter terminal modifications, then terminal will not trigger signaling connection release process.

According to this method two, then further, AMF if it is determined that target service is over, then triggering re-starts end The configuration at end more new technological process.That is, due to having used the configuration of modified configuration undated parameter triggering terminal to update before, because The configuration update of this terminal may not be very accurate, therefore AMF can pass through triggering weight when determining that target service is over The new configuration flow for carrying out terminal, correctly updates the configuration of terminal with realizing.

Method three, AMF send the 4th instruction information to terminal, and the 4th instruction information is used to indicate terminal in target service Register flow path is initiated after terminating.

Wherein, the 4th instruction information, which can be, is individually sent to terminal, is also possible to be carried in configuration update message It is sent to terminal.

In this way, the configuration for completing terminal updates, then according to the 4th after terminal receives configuration update message It indicates information, does not initiate register flow path temporarily, but initiate register flow path after waiting target service to terminate again.To which terminal exists After executing configuration update, into standby mode, until terminal check target service terminates, register flow path is just initiated.Example Such as, terminal can be discharged according to the corresponding session of target service determines that target service has terminated, or corresponding according to target service Application be turned off the Socket of the corresponding application of such as target service (close) and determine that target service has terminated.Terminal is in confirmation mesh Mark business is over, and then initiates register flow path again.

Method four, mobile management network element send configuration update message to terminal, which is used to indicate end Initiate register flow path in end.

If there are target services for terminal judgement, register flow path is initiated again after waiting target service.For example, terminal can It determines that target service has terminated to discharge according to the corresponding session of target service, or has been closed according to the corresponding application of target service It closes (Socket of the corresponding application of such as target service is closed) and determines that target service has terminated.Terminal is confirming target service Terminate, then initiates register flow path again.

This method four and the main distinction of the above method three are: not carrying in the configuration update message of this method four above-mentioned 4th instruction information, terminal is after receiving configuration update message, using preset method, first judge terminal currently whether There are target services, then first initiate registration request if it exists.Until determining there is currently no when target service, then initiate registration flow Journey.

Below with reference to Fig. 8-Figure 10, the different implementations of embodiment shown in Fig. 7 are specifically described.

As shown in figure 8, for a kind of method for updating configuration provided by the present application, comprising the following steps:

Step 801- step 807 is identical as the step 701- step 707 in embodiment shown in Fig. 7.

Wherein, the configuration update message in step 803 is realized using method two described in embodiment shown in Fig. 7 , i.e., what is carried in configuration update message is modified configuration undated parameter, wherein the ginseng modified in configuration undated parameter Number is target component, which can trigger signaling connection release process before modification, and will not then touch after modification Signaling Connection Release process.

As another implementation, the execution of above-mentioned steps 805A is execution of having ready conditions.For example as a kind of realization side Formula, if it is determined that there are target services in above-mentioned steps 802, and the target service is not urgency traffic or high-priority service, then AMF starts timer, and optionally the timer can also be carried in the configuration update message of step 803 and be sent to terminal. If timer expiry and terminal are connected state, 805A is thened follow the steps, optionally, mesh can also be performed when executing step 805A The release of the session of mark business or deactivated process.If before timer expiry, AMF determines that urgency traffic or Gao You occurs in terminal First grade business, then AMF stops timer, and does not execute step 805A.That is, only just executing step after timer expiry 805A.When the configuration update message of step 803 carries timer, if terminal does not occur urgency traffic or height before timer expiry Priority service, then terminal can know that AMF will execute step 805A, and optionally, when executing step 805A, AMF can be with The release of the session of performance objective business or deactivated process, if urgency traffic or Gao Youxian occurs in terminal before timer expiry Grade business, then terminal can stop timer and terminal can know that AMF is not carried out step 805A.

Step 808, AMF determines that the target service of terminal is over.

I.e. by way of step 806 and step 807, AMF to SMF by way of subscribing to, when the target service of terminal At the end of, SMF is notified that AMF.

Step 809, AMF triggering re-starts the configuration more new technological process of terminal.

Since terminal has just been executed without target service at this time, thus the method that the prior art can be used in the step 809, The configuration more new technological process for re-starting terminal, the configuration for completing terminal update.

As shown in figure 9, for a kind of method for updating configuration provided by the present application, comprising the following steps:

Step 901- step 902 is identical as the step 701- step 702 in embodiment shown in Fig. 7.

Step 903A, AMF send configuration update message to terminal, and correspondingly, terminal receives configuration update message.

The configuration update message is identical as the configuration update message of the prior art, is used to indicate terminal and carries out configuration update.

Step 903B, AMF send third to terminal and indicate information, and correspondingly, terminal receives third and indicates information.

Third instruction information is used to indicate terminal and initiates register flow path after signaling connection release.

Information is indicated by third, instruction terminal only carries out configuration update, and initiates again after signaling connection release Register flow path helps to ensure continuously performing for target service.

It should be noted that above-mentioned steps 903A and step 903B can also merge into a step, i.e. matching in 903A It sets and carries third instruction information in update message, i.e., modify to existing configuration update message, be therefrom inserted into a third It indicates information, or is modified to some information in configuration update message to obtain third instruction information.

Step 904- step 907 is identical as the step 704- step 707 in embodiment shown in Fig. 7.

As another implementation, the execution of above-mentioned steps 905A is execution of having ready conditions.For example as a kind of realization side Formula, if it is determined that there are target services in above-mentioned steps 902, and the target service is not urgency traffic or high-priority service, then AMF starts timer, can also optionally be carried on the timer in the configuration update message of step 903A and be sent to terminal. If timer expiry and terminal are connected state, 905A is thened follow the steps, optionally, mesh can also be performed when executing step 905A The release of the session of mark business or deactivated process.If before timer expiry, AMF determines that urgency traffic or Gao You occurs in terminal First grade business, then AMF stops timer and does not execute step 905A.That is, only just executing step after timer expiry 905A.When step 903A configuration update message carry timer when, if before timer expiry terminal do not occur urgency traffic or High-priority service, then terminal can know that AMF will execute step 905A, and optionally, when executing step 905A, AMF may be used also With the release of the session of performance objective business or deactivated process, if there is urgency traffic or Gao You in terminal before timer expiry First grade business, then terminal can stop timer and terminal can know that AMF is not carried out step 905A.

Step 908, AMF determines that the target service of terminal is over.

I.e. by way of step 906 and step 907, AMF to SMF by way of subscribing to, when the target service of terminal At the end of, SMF is notified that AMF.

Step 909, AMF triggers signaling connection release process.

That is AMF then triggers signaling connection release process when the target service for determining terminal is over.Due to mesh at this time Mark business is over, thus signaling connection release will not destroy the execution of target service.

Step 910, terminal initiates register flow path.

Due to completing signaling connection release in AMF, thus terminal enters Idle state, and then terminal can determine that signaling connects It connects and has discharged, to initiate register flow path, realize and the updated configuration of terminal is registered to network.

It as shown in Figure 10, is the method for another update configuration provided by the present application, comprising the following steps:

Step 1001- step 1002 is identical as the step 901- step 902 in embodiment shown in Fig. 9.

Step 1003A, AMF send configuration update message to terminal, and correspondingly, terminal receives configuration update message.

Step 1003B, AMF send the 4th instruction information to terminal, and correspondingly, terminal receives the 4th instruction information.

4th instruction information is used to indicate terminal and initiates register flow path after target service.

I.e. by the 4th instruction information, instruction terminal is when confirming that target service is over, then initiates registration flow Journey, help to ensure continuously performing for target service.

As a kind of implementation, above-mentioned steps 1003A and step 1003B can also merge into a step, that is, exist Above-mentioned instruction information is carried in the configuration update message of 1003A, i.e., modifies to existing configuration update message, be therefrom inserted into One instruction information, or modified to some information in configuration update message to obtain instruction information.

As another implementation, above-mentioned steps 1003B can also be deleted, and the configuration of above-mentioned steps 1003A updates Message may be used to indicate that terminal initiates register flow path.

Step 1004- step 1005B is identical as the step 904- step 905B in embodiment shown in Fig. 9.

As another implementation, the execution of above-mentioned steps 1005A is execution of having ready conditions.For example as a kind of realization side Formula, if it is determined that there are target services in above-mentioned steps 1002, and the target service is not urgency traffic or high-priority service, then AMF starts timer, can also optionally be carried on the timer in the configuration update message of step 1003A and be sent to end End.If timer expiry and terminal are connected state, 1005A is thened follow the steps, it optionally, can be with when executing step 1005A The release of the session of performance objective business or deactivated process.If before timer expiry, AMF determines that urgent industry occurs in terminal Business or high-priority service, then AMF stops timer and does not execute step 1005A that is, only just holding after timer expiry Row step 1005A.When the configuration update message of step 1003A carries timer, if terminal does not occur tightly before timer expiry Anxious business or high-priority service, then terminal can know that AMF will execute step 1005A, optionally, execute step The release or deactivated process of the session of target service can also be performed in AMF when 1005A, if terminal occurs before timer expiry Urgency traffic or high-priority service, then terminal can stop timer and terminal can know that AMF is not carried out step 1005A.

Step 1006, terminal updates configuration according to configuration update message.

I.e. terminal is done the configuration of terminal and is updated according to the relevant parameter in configuration update message.

Step 1007, terminal determines that target service is over.

For example, terminal is discharged according to the corresponding session of target service determines that target service is over.Alternatively, terminal according to The corresponding application of target service is turned off determining target service and is over.

It should be noted that not having stringent to execute sequence between above-mentioned steps 1006 and step 1007.It can first hold Row step 1006, then step 1007 is executed, it is also possible to first carry out step 1007, then execute step 1006.

Step 1008, terminal initiates register flow path.

Terminal initiates register flow path, the updated configuration of terminal can be registered to network.

The above method, mobile management network element is when needing the configuration of more new terminal, however, it is determined that there is currently targets for terminal Business then still sends configuration update message to terminal, and instruction information is carried in configuration update message, which uses Register flow path is initiated after determining target service in instruction terminal, i.e., is determined after target service actively by terminal itself Initiate register flow path.Since terminal is to initiate register flow path after target service, thus will not influence target service just It often executes, facilitates the continuity for ensureing target service.

The update of option A, the configuration of AMF1 notice AMF2 terminal does not complete temporarily, is in the target service knot to be received such as AMF1 It is completed during Shu Tongzhi, i.e. when AMF1 notifies the update of the configuration of AMF2 terminal not complete temporarily, AMF1 is received not yet The notice that the target service sent to SMF is over.As an example, option A can pass through following steps 1408- step 1410 It realizes.

Step 1408, AMF1 notifies AMF2: the update of the configuration of terminal does not complete temporarily.

As a kind of implementation, AMF1 can send the 5th instruction information to AMF2, and the 5th instruction information is for leading to Know that the update of the configuration of AMF2 terminal does not complete temporarily.Optionally, in the step 1408, AMF1 is sending the same of the 5th instruction information When can also send the 6th instruction information, the 6th instruction information, which is used to indicate AMF2 and sends the 4th to SMF, subscribes to request, this Four, which subscribe to request, notifies AMF2 at the end of target service for requesting.AMF2 executes following after receiving the 6th instruction information Step 1409, i.e., the 6th instruction information can be used for triggering AMF2 to the 4th subscription request of SMF transmission.Alternatively, AMF1 only sends Five instruction information do not send the 6th instruction information, the update of the configuration of terminal are determined after AMF2 receives the 5th instruction information It does not complete temporarily, and then continues to execute step 1409.It is above-mentioned 5th instruction information can be it is independently transmitted, also may include AMF1 is into the contextual information of the AMF2 terminal sent.If sending the 6th instruction information, the 6th instruction information be can be Independently transmitted, it also may be embodied in AMF1 into the contextual information of the AMF2 terminal sent.

As an example, the concrete methods of realizing of above-mentioned 6th instruction information is given below.

Method one, above-mentioned 6th instruction information may include the relevant information that third subscribes to request, then AMF2 is being received After the third subscribes to the relevant information of request, it can determine that the update of the configuration of terminal does not complete temporarily, and then AMF2 can be triggered Execute following steps 1409.

Method two, it is above-mentioned 6th instruction information may include terminal update before configuration information and terminal it is updated Configuration information, after AMF2 receives these information, however, it is determined that configuration information and terminal before the update of terminal it is updated Configuration information is different, then can determine that the update of the configuration of terminal does not complete, and then can trigger AMF2 and execute following steps 1409。

Method three, above-mentioned 6th instruction information can be the instruction information of 1 bit, for example the 6th instruction information is " 0 ", then It is used to indicate AMF2 and sends the 4th subscription request to SMF, is i.e. triggering AMF2 executes following steps 1409 or the 6th instruction information When for " 1 ", it is used to indicate AMF2 and sends the 4th to SMF and subscribe to request.

It should be noted that if terminal sends the request of PDU session establishment to AMF2 at this time, AMF2 can refuse this at this time The request of PDU session establishment, and refused to respond to terminal return.Optionally, this refuse to respond in can also include refusal the reason of.

Step 1409, AMF2 sends the 4th to SMF and subscribes to request.

4th subscribes to request, notifies the AMF2 at the end of target service for requesting.

As a kind of implementation, after above-mentioned steps 1409, SMF can also notify AMF1 to cancel above-mentioned third and subscribe to Request.AMF2 objective of subscription service ending notice is revised as by AMF1 objective of subscription service ending notice.

Step 1410, SMF then notifies that target service is over AMF2 if it is determined that target service is over.

1408- step 1410 through the above steps, when AMF1 does not receive the notice that target service is over, then not after Continuous to wait, but pass through step 1408 directly notice AMF2: the update of the configuration of terminal does not complete temporarily, at the same also triggering AMF2 after Continuing the end notification to SMF objective of subscription business, i.e. triggering AMF2 sends the 4th to SMF by step 1409 and subscribes to request, from And if subsequent SMF determines that target service is over, directly notice AMF2.

Option b, AMF1 are to notify the update of the configuration of AMF2 terminal temporarily not complete after receiving target service end notification At.As an example, option b can be realized by following steps 1411- step 1412.

Step 1411, SMF then notifies that target service is over AMF1 if it is determined that target service is over.

The step 1411 is identical as step 308 shown in Fig. 3, can refer to foregoing description.

Step 1412, AMF1 notifies AMF2: the update of the configuration of terminal does not complete temporarily.

As a kind of implementation, AMF1 can send the 5th instruction information to AMF2, and the 5th instruction information is for leading to Know that the update of the configuration of AMF2 terminal does not complete temporarily.

As another implementation, AMF1 can also be in the step 1408 to matching before the update of AMF2 transmission terminal The updated configuration information of confidence breath and terminal, after AMF2 receives these information, however, it is determined that matching before the update of terminal Confidence breath is different from the updated configuration information of terminal, then can determine that the update of the configuration of terminal does not complete.

1411- step 1412 through the above steps then continues when AMF1 does not receive the notice that target service is over Wait until through the above steps 1411 receive the notice that target service is over after, then notified by step 1412 AMF2: the update of the configuration of terminal does not complete temporarily, and logical without trigger that AMF2 is over to SMF objective of subscription business Know.

After above-mentioned steps 1408- step 1410, or after above-mentioned steps 1411- step 1412, it can also wrap Include following steps 1413- step 1415.

Step 1413- step 1414, it is identical as the step 1306- step 1307 in embodiment shown in Figure 13, it can refer to Foregoing description, which is not described herein again.

Step 1415, subsequent configuration more new technological process.It can refer to prior art related procedure, such as 3GPP can be referred to TS23.502:"Procedures for the 5G System；Stage 2 ", which is not described herein again.

For above-mentioned Fig. 2-any embodiment shown in fig. 6, if by UDM network element (hereinafter referred to as UDM) triggering AMF to end The configuration at end is updated, then AMF determine then suspend the configuration for executing more new terminal there is currently target service when, can be with Notify UDM: configuration updates failure or configuration updates pause.To continue waiting for or re-initiate configuration more in order to UDM New process.Below by taking Fig. 2 as an example, embodiment shown in Fig. 2 is expanded to the applied field for the result that notice UDM configuration updates Scape.Embodiment shown in fig. 6 for Fig. 3-can also expand to notice UDM configuration after the same method and update answering for result With scene, repeat no more.

In one implementation, if before executing step 1508, AMF is had sent in above-mentioned steps 1504 to UDM Configuration updates pause, then can trigger UDM starting timer.At this point, after executing step 1508, if the timer in UDM is connecing It receives when configuration is updated successfully and has not timed out, then UDM can stop the timer.And UDM, which will not be triggered, re-initiates matching for terminal The update set.

In another implementation, if AMF is sent in above-mentioned steps 1504 to UDM before executing step 1508 Configuration updates pause, then can trigger UDM starting timer.At this point, after executing step 1508, if the timer in UDM exists It receives before configuration is updated successfully and has timed, out, then UDM will trigger the update for re-initiating the configuration of terminal.

In one implementation, it when the update for the configuration that UDM triggering re-initiates terminal, can be initiated according to last time Current operation is not present in terminal at this time in identical configuration when the update of the configuration of terminal, the update of the configuration of initiating terminal Under the premise of, if step 150A- step 1507 is not carried out, step 150A- step 1507 is first carried out, then execute step 1508, If step 150A- step 1507 has executed, step 150A- step 1507 is no longer executed, but directly executes step 1508.

In another implementation, when the configuration that UDM triggering re-initiates terminal updates, it can be initiated according to last time Different configurations when the configuration of terminal updates, re-initiate the update of the configuration of terminal.

It should be noted that AMF can send an instruction information to UDM, which is used in the step 1508 Instruction configuration is updated successfully.The instruction information can be carried by be sent in instruction message, which is also possible to it Reason value in his message, the instruction information can also be independently transmitted.

Above-described embodiment, AMF first determine whether that terminal currently whether there is target when determining the configuration for needing more new terminal Business, however, it is determined that there are target services, then suspend the configuration for executing more new terminal, help avoid holding for interrupt targets business Row.It is subsequent be finished until target service after, can be further continued for executing the configuration of more new terminal by AMF, to facilitate at end The continuity of target service is ensured in the configuration more new technological process at end.Also, AMF can also to UDM send configuration update pause or Failure re-initiates the process that configuration updates so as to trigger UDM.
